Speculation on power of the machine spirit

[emperorpants]

GW has said it will do something different now. What do you guys think it will be? Plus 1 to save? Shooting into combat with no negative to hit? Plus 1 to shooting if you didn't move? 6 up FNP?

How about rerolling to Hit for all shooting attacks for free? This enables the Land Raider, Storm Raven, Repulsor, etc. to operate outside of the Captain/Chapter Master's/Shield Captain's aura and gives it a real advantage over other kinds of vehicles.

Refilling to hit, Ignore the first To hit modifier (including bracket)

 

Feel like it should be something to do with hitting. An invol save, or FNP would be nice on big vehicles like those, but I don’t think that fits the style.

I think this will allow to shoot always without penalty against flyer or into close combat

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

+1 to hit.

Or, alternatively, PotMS let's vehicles count as double their wounds on the damage table, letting them operate at full capacity longer.

Should be something like no degrading profile for shooting attacks.

 

With a Repulsor Executioner costing in excess of 380 points it would need to be something darn good.

I'm expecting something not-very-exciting like "ignore -1 to hit for shooting in melee", or "fall back and shoot".

 

I would LOVE to see it become an Assault Ramp rule that allows disembarking after moving, but that would be insanely powerful on a Stormraven, so I doubt it.

 

Conceivably it could even become different abilities on Repulsors/Land Raiders/Stormravens.
